I Was Very Poorly Last Night But I’m Okay Now šŸ˜‡



 So you know I was meant to go in for my groom this morning, well I haven’t been. Everything was going really well yesterday.  Nix did think it a bit strange that I didn’t jump on the rocks on the way back from church but sort of forgot about it. We had a short walk round the block in the afternoon and when we got home I really didn’t feel very well. My tummy hurt and all I wanted to do was get on the sofa with Nix but I thought it might hurt if I jumped. I put my chin on the sofa seat and just gazed at Nix and then I just stared into space for a while. I don’t know why I do that, I think I am thinking šŸ˜‡



Eventually I did get on the sofa and fell asleep with my head in Nix’s lap but when I woke up my tummy hurt a lot and I started to pant really hard. I think it scared Nix but I couldn’t help it, it seemed to help with the pain, like when ladies have babies Nix said. Also I got my third of a paracetamol which helped a lot. At about 10pm I suddenly ate my dinner so this made Nix think I was a bit better and she said we could go to bed. I didn’t want to jump on the bed so I lay on the floor next to Nix but when she woke up an hour later I had gone. She came into the lounge and I was asleep on the floor, I never sleep there at night. Nix apparently thought I was dead and got a cushion to kneel next to me. I did know she was there but I was too tired to move. 



Nix eventually realised of course that I wasn’t dead and decided the vet visit could wait til morning as I didn’t seem to be in any pain. She then came to check me every hour, I mean it started to get a bit annoying. She sent a message to the groomer to cancel my appointment and an email to Bron my vet that she would see when she woke up. At about 7.30am I decided I fancied a walk on the beach as I was feeling a lot better and Nix said she couldn’t believe the speed at which I took off down the boardwalk. By the time we’d seen the sunrise and got home I was feeling fantastic šŸ˜‡



My cultures came back with the same old boring E-coli. This will cause stones to form and Bron thinks I was probably passing one down my normal ureter. When I finish my month of antibiotics I shall have another culture done and I might have to stay on them longer. I am also starting on Aktivait, it’s for oldies. I’m thinking Nix could try some too šŸ˜‡

Everything You Wanted to Know About Fripp

Image
My name is Fripp aka The Fripster, I am a Bearded Collie and I came to live with Nix when I was two years old.  I spent the first two years of my life living in Monaco but my owners couldn’t keep me because they were working long hours. Even though Nix lives in the UK she saw me and wanted me, naturally, and so my breeder brought me to the UK when she was visiting Crufts. Nix says she had no idea what she was letting herself in for and if I hadn’t come all the way from France she’d have sent me straight back the next day. She said I was completely untrained, tried to kill the cat and had separation anxiety so bad I would knock her over rather than let her get to the front door. None of this is true of course.  Nix and I have lived in perfect harmony for the last eight years even though she might say different. I got very sick when I was seven with an autoimmune disease called IMTP but I recovered from that even though I was bald for a while. Then a year later I ended up in hospital wit

Too Much Noisy Rain

Image
 Last night it started to rain, a lot, and as you know I do not like it when it rains, it scares me. I don’t mind it when I’m out on my walk as you can see from my photos but I don’t like it when I’m inside. I just couldn’t help myself, I had to get off the bed and start digging. Nix was very understanding for once but she does try to get me back on the bed. In the end I gave up and got on the bed and was just drifting off when there was this really loud scary noise. Nix said it sounded like a very loud demented dalek whatever that is...it was very scary and made me and Nix really jump. Turned out to be something to do with her phone and the battery going...is it too much to ask that she keep a check on these things, nearly gave me a heart attack.  It hasn’t stopped raining all day so there are only photos of me wet. I didn’t stay wet for long, I blotted myself off on the sofa first and then Nix’s bed. She thought there were towels on it but I’d dug them all up. The best news today is

Big Boats and Little Dogs

Image
 There was a very big boat making a lot of noise when we got to the beach this morning. Nix thought that it was very interesting, me not so much. I suppose it shows just how boring Nix’s life really is.  We went down the river this afternoon. You know how Nix has always been scared of going over the bridge over the busy road. Well now she’s decided she doesn’t like going under the busy road either. I think the lockdown thingy has finally done it’s worst. She says it’s worse coming back because she can see it in the distance and knows she’s got to go under it eventually. I like it under there, it’s really noisy and you can hear the lorries above you racing along.  I like to think I took her mind off going under the bridge by perfecting another one of my annoying habits. I like to walk right behind her and when she looks over her right shoulder to make sure I’m still there I overtake her on the left. She thinks I’ve gone AWOL and starts panicking and calling me but I’m behind her all the
